Alcoholism Support Group

Alcoholism is the continued consumption of alcoholic beverages, even when it is negatively affecting your health, work, relationships and life. If you think alcohol is causing you to lose control, it's time to seek help. Our group is a safe place to vent, check in, get back up if you fall, and reach sobriety.

One Day At A Time

It's easy to look at all the tasks and unsolved problems and feel so pressured that we get paralyzed and don't get anything done. It takes discipline to gather in our scattered forces and focus on one thing, one day, one step, and sometimes one hour even when taking only that one step can seem so trivial in the face of all that looms.

Inventory Focus:
Are you creating unnecessary fear and drama by taking on more than you handle? Are you willing to trade in the I'm-out-of-control-and-overwhelmed feeling for a sense of manageability? Do you have any history with deliberately living life one day or one step at a time? How did that work?

Plans, goals, and dreams are good, but the only way to get there is one day at a time.

sometimes one moment at a time-I am feeling overwhelmed with debt today gjm. Thanks for the reminder that I need not be overwhelmed. All I can do right now is go make some money and then pay. Nothing more-no reason to fret. I am fine.....

The first thing I say to my husband in the morning is that I think I will stay sober today. But there are days where a day at a time is too much and I need to go to an hour at a time and then if that doesn't work, a minute at a time.

One day at a time helped me. Whenever I'd get overwhelmed my sponsor directed me to Page 86 of the BB...

&quot;On awakening let us think about the twenty-four hours ahead. We consider our plans for the day. Before we begin, we ask God to direct our thinking, especially asking that it be divorced from self-pity, dishonest or self-seeking motives. &quot;

&quot;In thinking about our day we may face indecision. We may not be able to determine which course to take. Here we ask God for inspiration, an intuitive thought or a decision. We relax and take it easy. We don't struggle. We are often surprised how the right answers come after we have tried this for a while.&quot;

Hey buddy, actually I break it down in dealing with one problem and then move to the next one. Breathe, face the shit head on, and make it move for ya.
One day is way to long in facing life's obstacles.
I have definetly learned to take on only what I can get done and stay true to my daily commitments. Think about my day ahead, plan it out, and make sure I strive to complete it. Some people say that is putting expectations on shit, I say that is BS. You have to have goals.
Really nothing feels better than a productive day fulfilling all your tasks.

I used this advice to get through one SH*TTY crappy day...moment by moment. Yesirree, riding that wave of life indeed. And here I am-it is all good. My goal today was to just get through it gosh darn it.

Today is my 25th birthday, to my somewhat lack of surprise I can see already no one really seems to care. I've always been the kinda person to make sure that everyone I Care about feels appreciated and knew somebody had their back. I can count 4 times this year when I Went out of my way to make sure a "friend" felt good on their birthday, especially if they got left hanging. Its early in the...

So my daughter, who will be 30 in a few months, says she thinks she has varicose veins, as she can't figure out what else it could be. Only in one leg, and is so bad it is hard to sleep at night. She is in excellent shape, really exercises a lot, and eats well... not at all overweight. Anyone else have any issues with this? I did find that it can go with PKD. She was reading that there are...
